[QUOTE="Shari, post: 266373, member: 1848"] There's been many other times my hopes were up cause something with an easy fix looked like a culprit! I'm not holding my breath, but I think its worth looking at. Also, difficult child 1 took Depakote off and on thru his teen years. Even tho he never took a high enough dose to be considered therapeutic, his teachers and family could tell when he was on and off his medications, and even he will tell you he felt less scattered and forgetful when he took it. And it was less than half of what he should have been taking for a person of his size, yet it was working, so they left it at that. *** The first thing I would notice that would tip me off that difficult child 1 was off his medications was that on the medications, he was a neat freak. Off his medications, he wasn't. Every day after school, he'd sit in a recliner by the window. If he was on his medications, it bugged the carp out of him to leave the glass in the windowsill when he was finished. In fact, he lectured the rest of us to pick up after ourselves. Off his medications, there'd be a whole string of glasses in the windowsill... lol So I just watched the window...when glasses started piling up there, I knew he was off. Talk about your bizarre observations. lol [FONT=Helv][SIZE=2][FONT=Helv][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
